I have been in pain 24/7/365 from back, knees and hips for over 30 years. The pain ranged from moderate to severe. I have taken all kinds of pain meds over that period of time. The time came when the side effect and consequences became unacceptable....

I have never been tied to one brand of primers, having used CCI, Winchester, Remington and Federal over the past 58 years of reloading. CCI is neither superior, nor inferior to other brands. If you can get em cheap, then load and shoot them.

Tis true that more recent Smith 44s have smaller throats for jacketed bullets, but your 29-2 will predate that trend. I have owned two 29-2s and my record shows throats of .433 and .434. I owned two Model 24s and the throats were .433 and .4335. I...

When the DCM was selling these for about $20.00 back in the early 60's, I bought one. It turned out to be a good Rockola. I loaded for it and shot it for a three years, but never could develop a fondness for it. So, I sold it down river in 1965 and...

The thing with Winchester collectible editions is that, in general, they’re not really collectible. It sure is purty but id still shoot it. Keep it oiled and in a scabbard and you’ll be GTG for a long time.’

It’s a law in GA now. I usually just get in the fast lane, maintain distance appropriate and go with traffic. Typically 10-15mph over posted. GSP typically leave us alone unless it’s on one of those “crackdown” time periods.
My pet peeve is an...

Have a Uberti Hi Wall in 38-55. Shot it yesterday with Lyman bullets weighing 341 gr. It won't shoot for squat with less than .380 dia. The Meister 255 gr do well. Wanted to try heavy & with H4198 at 100 yds, had 4 of 5 could cover with half dollar...

There were no Federal requirements that any firearm have a serial number, until the Gun Control Act of 1968. As a matter of course. many firearms makers serial numbered their product, even thought it was not a legal requirement. The same law made it...

Back in the day, the gunsmith removed the cylinder, laid the revolver across two Babbitt metal bars. One bar was under the grip and the other under the barrel. The joint of the barrel/frame was them struck with another Babbitt bar. This moved the...

The 460 Rowland is one hit little gem but I’ve never really cared for porting, which is necessary for the 460 Rowland. I don’t recall what powder my friend loaded with but it was always fun to shoot but too much muzzle blast for me for anything...

I know this is rather basic, but make certain the action screws and scope mount screws are tight before sending lead down range. I have neglected to check these things and the result is a pattern and not a group on the target.

Yes, yes and yes again. Outpost is 100% correct. I don't when if ever folks will ever get over thinking land and groove diameter is the key number. The sooner folks come to understand this, the sooner...
